Drake Maye's physical transformation turns heads in viral image

Drake "Drake Maye" Maye might soon be Buff Drake "Drake Maye" Maye.

An image of theNew England Patriots'third-year quarterback jogging during a voluntary offseason workout has fans admiring the physical gains he's made in the offseason. Maye looks like he's been hard at work adding some muscle this spring.

The 6-foot-4 and 225-pound signal-caller appears to be leaning into his frame and improving his potential to be more physical with the ball in his hands. It could make him tougher to tackle when he escapes the pocket and more of a weapon in quarterback sneak situations.

It might also help improve his durability on the football field.

ThePatriotsuploaded the above image, along with several other images from the team's voluntary workout, on theoffical team website.

Maye experienced a breakout year last season, earning his first All-Pro nod and finishing second to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford in the NFL MVP race. He also helped lead the Patriots to their first AFC East title, AFC championship and Super Bowl berth since Tom Brady was the quarterback.

Here are some of the reactions to Maye's photo:

Here is an early prediction for where Jets will pick at 2027 NFL Draft

TheNew York Jetsare loaded up ahead of the 2027 NFL Draft even though we're still a very long ways away from next offseason.

It's well known that the Jets hold three first-round selections at the 2027 draft.Sports Illustratedprojected where all 32 first-round picks will be at next year's draft... including the trio held by Gang Green.

The two that headed to New York via trades withIndianapolis Coltsand Dallas Cowboys end up being predicted to be at No. 14 and 15, respectively.

But the all important one will likely be the Jets' original Round 1 selection. That's because it's the one that could put the team in the best position to draft their quarterback of the future once the Geno Smith era is over.

That originalJetspick is slated to be No. 3 overall. Two teams that could also select top QBs at the 2027 draft in theMiami DolphinsandArizona Cardinalsare projected to have the top-two picks, respectively.

But it's still a great position to be in if the Jets still want quarterback next offseason.ESPNrecently projected as many as six quarterbacks could be selected in the first round in 2027.

SI's breakdown of the top projected picks at the 2027 draft can be found below:

What immediately sticks out is how the projected top-four will probably all be in the race for quarterbacks. The Miami Dolphins signed Malik Willis as a temporary solution to their full-blown rebuild. The Jets have the aforementioned three-first round picks with Geno Smith and Cade Klubnik at QB. TheCleveland Brownswill sort through the Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders mess, and the Arizona Cardinals will firmly be in the market, too.

Police at Spain's ruling Socialists HQ as part of probe into ex party official

By Emma Pinedo and David Latona

Police at the Socialist Party's headquarters on a judicial order to gather information on a possible illegal financing scheme, in Madrid

MADRID, May 27 (Reuters) - Police were seeking documents at the headquarters of Spain's ruling Socialist Party (PSOE) on Wednesday ‌as part of an investigation into an alleged plot to destabilise judicial ‌proceedings against the party or the government, the High Court said.

The alleged offences include belonging to ​a criminal organisation, bribery, disclosure of secrets, inducement to give false testimony, false accusation, falsification of commercial documents, misconduct in public office, influence peddling and offences against state institutions.

At a news conference in Rome after meeting Pope Leo, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro ‌Sanchez stressed that Wednesday's request ⁠for documents did not constitute a police search, adding that the party was fully cooperating with the courts and had absolute ⁠respect for the judiciary.

Investigating judge Santiago Pedraz ordered the request of various documents and electronic files from the party's headquarters, the court said.

A judicial request for information requires ​prior notice ​and targets specific items, as distinct from ​an "entry and search" carried out ‌without prior notice to gather all kinds of evidence.

Pedraz's investigation centres on former PSOE organisation secretary Santos Cerdan, along with other party officials, lawyers, a businessman and a police officer. It is the first time Cerdan has been named in this case. He has denied wrongdoing in another investigation.

The party led by Sanchez has been ‌dogged by a slew of corruption scandals, including ​various investigations into Sanchez's key allies and family ​members.

Sanchez said if new irregular ​behaviour emerged, his party would deal with it with the ‌same firmness as before.

Last week, the High ​Court said it ​was investigating Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero - a former Socialist premier and close Sanchez ally - on suspicion of leading an influence-peddling and money-laundering network, dealing another ​blow to the leftist ‌coalition government.

Zapatero denied any wrongdoing, and Sanchez on Wednesday reiterated his support ​for his predecessor.

Penn State continues D-line retool with 3-star DT commitment

While thePenn Stateoffense has gotten a lot of attention over the past couple of weeks, it is the Penn State defense that should be receiving more praise amidst its retooling efforts. With new defensive coordinator D'anton Lynn and D-line coach Ikaika Malloe, they have been focused on building with size up front. With key transfers such as Armstrong Nnodim and Dallas Vakalahi up front, they wish to maintain a size advantage over opposing O-lines. With new commits as well, including a brand new three-star prospect on board.

Aniti Paivamay only be a three-star, but he represents what theNittany Lionscould want out of a potential nose tackle. While playing a lot of snaps at the nose tackle position in high school, Lynn and Malloe could move him all around their four-man front, as someone who could look to shed blockers and open up holes for others to record big plays as well as getting tackles for loss himself. He could allow the better pass rushers along the line to do the dirty work.

Paiva is 6-3, 320 pounds, which is the image of Penn State's new look defense. Along with four-star recruit and 300-pounderStanley Montgomery, they could become one of the most unheralded D-tackle tandems in the Big Ten. Knowing Matt Campbell and his recruiting philosophies, this may be exactly what he wants.
